Treasure Craft Canister Set-Vintage Thingies Thursday

Happy Thursday!

It's time for Vintage Thingies Thursday! Please pay a visit to Suzanne @ Colorado Lady and see who else rolls vintage...

Treasure Craft Canister Set...

Some would like to slap me for using them this way, but it works for me "right now". I use them asstorage in my laundry room. I've got dryer sheets in one, legos and toys from my boys pockets in another, loose change or what I like to call "tip money" in another...

This set originally belonged to my Sis-In-Law's BFF, then my SIL had them for a while through the 80s and most of the 90s. She gifted them to me in 1997 after seeing how much I admired them. I'm guessing these canisters are somewhere around 25-30 years old. Just old enough to be considered "vintage".Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a fab day!

Hi Rechelle - I think this is my first time to comment on your blog.I am always stopping by and I enjoy my visits so much. I love the canister set. I have never seen one like it.I think how you have it in use is perfect. Another idea to add to my list of many possibilities.

These are really cute and what a great idea....Your laundry room looks wonderful, this is the second laundry room today that is so pretty....I think I better get with it and do something to mine...but I need to find more time for that...but you girls have inspired me....loved your idea. Thanks for the cute post...Have a great weekend and a Happy VTT!!

LOL! You're a gal after my own heart. I did something similar with 3 containers. Liked the shape, but the design wasn't right. I turned them with the backs facing out.Thanks for sharing!Living it up Lakewood,Cindy

About Me

Hi! I'm Rechelle. Mommy and Stepmom to my blended brood. As you can imagine there is never a dull or quiet moment in our home. And it's a rather "cozy" home at that, one that seems even "cozier" when we're all together at the same time! I love anything with a history. My home is filled with treasures that have been handed down through generations, or that I've found in thrift stores & antique malls. I love all kinds of music, classic movies & Gene Kelly. Some of my favorite things are vintage tablecloths, lace, beadboard, toile, fine china, tea sets, old homes- be they craftsman, victorian or farmhouses-, decorating & antiques. Living in a cookie cutter house has had it's decorating challenges but my husband and I have loved adding character and making it a "home". We've still many projects to embark upon, but one day... Welcome to my blog, happy reading and please comment! I'd love to get to know you better and may we become fast friends. Enjoy your day and may it be great!
